#COVID19 statistics are easily misinterpreted Image
Statistical anomalies in calculations of #COVID19 infections and deaths meant it appeared that no-one ever recovered!

Modern monetary theory says that the state has the ability to create and maintain the value in money and most left of centre economists appear to be repulsed by that

‘Tis the season of prognostication, and in an age of one-word answers to complex questions, we’ve also witnessed a great deal of #hedged-language #forecasts ending in the suffix “ish,” so not to be outdone, we’d say that 2020 is looking rather 1.8ish!
What on Earth could this mean? We would suggest, firstly; that rather than seeing a calamitous #recession in 2020, or a strong cyclical resurgence of #growth, we instead think that real #GDP growth is likely to moderate slightly to around 1.8%, its average level since 2005. Image
Further, over the next year, we think that #CorePCE #inflation may firm somewhat to around 1.8%, which is just above the average level for the measure over the past 15 years. Image

THREAD.

1/ I was looking through twitter today and saw how much people mistrust forecasts of the election. We are pretty bad at thinking probabilistically and it seems as if once a candidate is somewhere over 60% we default to assuming they are 100% to win
2/ so if they lose we declare the forecast (or the polls) wrong! This is, of course, aided and abetted by a lot of pundits. It’s very frustrating because I am not sure how we can fix the problem.
3/ Certainty is what people want. They don’t want to hear that one candidate is 25% and the other 75%. They want to know for sure. And the pundits are often more than happy to give them what they want, offering more certainty than the data offers.
